Here at Strange Daze Indeed, you know that I love to introduce you to and feature my favorite artists. I am very pleased to be working with my friend Amanda Self, a wonderful artist who creates beautiful jewelry with crystal and gemstones. These creations are not only lovely, but also healing.
About Amanda (in her own words)
My love of gemstones began over a decade ago when I walked into a gem store in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I totally fell in love with their beauty and calming energy. Over the years I have discovered crystals and gemstones to be wonderful healing gifts from the Earth. They are here to help us in so many ways. I have thoroughly enjoyed using them in my Reiki practice to help ground and balance energies. In 2006, I decided to create a way to both utilize their powers and enjoy their incredible beauty through jewelry.
I have been cultivating and expanding my jewelry line over the years and I am totally in love with my work. It gives me great joy to see my jewelry light up the lives of others!
With Love,
Amanda

This pendant is appealing~ I love the look and sensibility– very Piscean and dreamy.
What the stone represents.
I love the design.
I like this because emerald is my birthstone. That and it’s unique.
I love the color and shape. I know this would be a favorite of my mom’s (and her birthday’s coming up)!
I love the pendant, itself! I love the color! Most important, is I love what it’s meaning is. I have anger from the past and I could use some help with forgiveness. And if it gives me a new vitality for life, all the better!
I love the look and color of the jewelry. I like unusual things.
I like the length of the pendant. I also like the way the wire is wrapped, as it is very unique, The color of the stone is amazing; I love the teal color 😉
This pendant is beautiful and reminds me of the ocean 🙂
I love jewelry that is made from natural material. This is beautiful.

I like the stone.
I love the color of the stone, the silver work and that it is handmade.
The color is magical!
I love the unique asymmetrical aspects of the crystal and the color that isn’t bold, but has a story to tell.
The color is nice and it looks nice wrapped in the wire.
I love how the wire enclosure on this pendant is also decorative, it’s not just there to keep the stone in place, it plays an aesthetic role as well.
I love the color, it’s my favorite shade of green.
I think the stone is very pretty, but I LOVE the wire wrapping. The spirals are so pretty.
I love how unique looking it is.
Although the pendant is a lovely piece of jewelry, the thing that really appeals to me is the description of the properties of the Emerald Calcite. I sure could use some of that in my life!
the color
I love the design and overall look of the pendent but I also love what it stands for! Emerald Calcite engenders forgiveness of oneself and others.
I love the color and the wire wrapping design, and that it’s handmade!
It has a boho feel to it and I love that style.

The healing properties of this pendant would be perfect.thanks so very much for sharing.
I like the color.

i like that the stone is “natural” and that it has really pretty scroll faceting.
What appeals to me about this pendant is that the Emerald Calcite radiates positiveness to the the person wearing it.
The properties are ideal for what I’ve been working through emotionally these days. It’s also very pretty.
The color! It is absolutely beautiful!
The crystal appeals to me because it is a deep healing heart chakra stone. I like that it has cleansing personalities
